I love this sign. Most of the time signs are in place to tell us what we can't do...No Parking, No Stopping, No Standing, No Talking....on and on..But this sign is positive for a change...and so casually accepting. You want to make a U-turn? OK! Fine by us.
This sign also reminds me of how often in life we get stuck in the same old patterns. Our lives follow predictable paths whether we're happy with them or not. We may stay in jobs we don't really like or in situations that we don't find fulfilling because change is just too daunting or disruptive. What would other people think if we chose to make a major change? Who would disapprove? I would say to anyone who feels like they are on the treadmill of the same ole, same ole, but are looking for another way: U Turn OK! Sometimes a radical course correction is exactly what is needed. If what you're doing isn't filling your days with joy, then look around and see what can be changed. We may not all have the luxury of quitting our jobs and moving to the islands to while away our days on the beach, but we do have the choice of changing the way we see our situation. Look up from the road. Stop counting the mile markers and look at the scenery. This is your life, your journey. If you don't like the road you're on, then change direction. It's OK!
